Other Use Cases
Using API Gateway – Lambda integration, we can deploy many applications, like below:
- Serverless applications: Lambda integration is well-suited for serverless applications, we can deploy backend APIs using this, many big size companies use lambda to deploy their backend APIs (Django, NodeJS, etc)
- Webhooks: API Gateway – Lambda integration can be used to build webhooks where the Lambda function is triggered by an external system like Stripe, Twilio, or GitHub.
- Microservices: API Gateway – Lambda is well suited for building microservices-based architectures where multiple Lambda functions are used to build a single application.
Build an API Gateway REST API with Lambda Integration
Pre-requisite: AWS
Amazon Web Services is a leading cloud provider which provides us with plenty of Paas, and Iaas, and services that we can use to build and deploy our applications. we going to build and Deploy a REST API with API Gateway which is integrated with AWS Lambda and expose GET and POST methods, here we going to use an open-source framework Serverless for deploying our API.
